targeting nearby sandy hook elementary school because it was the easiest target with the largest cluster of people. based on evidence they have collected, investigators also believe lanza was acting out the fancies of a video -- fantasies of a video game. sources say lanza also fired some shots at the first police officer to respond. as they moved through the school's parking lot. but unlike the other man who surrendered, lanza killed himself as police closed in, ending the massacre sooner than what was intended. they had not revealed what precisely lead them to the motive, but sources say investigators have found evidence that lanza was obsessed with the swedish guy. they also recovered a trove of video games from the basement of lanza's home. he spent countless hours there alone in a private gaming room with the windows blacked out.

lanza also made multiple visits to nearby gun ranges with his mother, nancy lanza. they practiced together with actual weapons. three guns all registered to nancy lanza were used in the sandy hook massacre. lanza used a fourth weapon to kill his mother before his attack on the school. police are now reaching out to people in the online gaming community who may have had encounters with lanza to better understand the full scope of what may have motivated him. cbs news, washington. and there is now a face to match the crime. police are asking for your help to catch the man who beat up and raped a woman on the uc santa cruz campus. it happened in the wooded area between the amphitheater and the classroom building. kpix with who they are looking for. kit? >> reporter: well the victim is now out of the hospital. she got beat up pretty bad, but was able to keep her wits about her. because of the sunny weather, she was able to give police a description that had an amazing

amount of detail. within minutes of completing a suspect sketch, officers began posting flyers at bus stops leading into campus. we saw students following police tips to not walk alone. the mood, shock and fear. >> it happened in the middle of the day. and i think that's something that is really scary. and it is unfair to not be able to like walk around campus by myself. >> reporter: the attack happened at 12:30 yesterday afternoon on a wooded path near the amphitheater. at nearly six feet tall and 200 pounds, the suspect overpowered the victim, raped her, severely beating her in the head and the torso. but she got a good description. the green eyes, dark hair, tattoo on his right shoulder and bicep, a deep voice and he reeked of cigarettes. >> well it's shocking, you know, it's not just suggested crime that does not occur on our campus. it's just that this is not the norm.

the real paramedics. >> we have a good relationship with them. all we're doing is adding a cushion in between the time that they get there. that's all. and that is basically what we're doing. we're assisting them to add life to our people. >> reporter: the oakland police department is weary of the citizens working at a crime scene. but they agree that saving lives should come first and praises peoples paramedics for training citizens to care and respond. for an organization like this, sometimes their work comes down to simple luck and timing. two months ago there was a shooting right here near the intersection of 61 first and san pueblo avenues. she responded immediately and it is something that is appreciated by the local businesses and the residence. >> and i think that, you know, thank god somebody is willing to step up and help. because if we get to the point where we don't step in and help, then you're going to lose a lot of innocent lives. >> reporter: there is no

compensation package. she would gladly go on another cruise, but a right one. >> they didn't have contingency plans. they weren't prepared for any type of an emergency. so much of our misery is that they were not organized. and they didn't have systems in place to repair. >> reporter: days later alexis says she still has trouble sleeping. but despite all that, her spirits are high and she knows the true meaning of there's no place like home. in oakland, kpix 5. we have contingency plans for the next 24 hours. yeah, it's called an umbrella. >> there you go. >> you've got to be thinking ahead. >> you may not have needed that umbrella, but you want to think ahead tomorrow. keep your family drive. get your umbrella out of the closet. here's what we've got going on tonight. a chilly day. low 50s for the highs. because we have extra moisture in the air, we're not losing the heat in the air. only a couple degrees cooler. san jose 49. oakland, 50. and livermore at 47. we had some activity just a few

hours ago on kpix5 high-def radar. now we're getting a low, but trust me, plenty of rainfall coming by the time you go to work or are dropping the kids off tomorrow, it will be raining. we're down 6.25 inches of rainfall. 4 inches in san jose and almost 4 inches in livermore. that's the deficit since the beginning of january. mother nature helping us out a little bit since the focus of our weather has shifted from high pressure moving away from us now with low pressure coming from the gulf of alaska. i drew in the arrows. look at the cold air spilling in from the gulf of alaska. and we've got rainfall tomorrow. that's the only rain chance, solid rain chance for the week. we will be cold and breezy and all week long for you. it'll be feeling like winter outside. here comes the front tomorrow that will bring us the soggy tuesday, the morning commute, wet evening commute, likely wet here as well. and then once that moisture tap moves away, we'll keep the low pressure around, off to the east, enhancing the chilly air from the north. it won't be all that wet. solid rain chance tomorrow.

mark are backing off the plan now to dilute the bourbon. >> kpix 5 mike sugerman on the head spinning marketing blender that might leave makers with a hangover. >> reporter: at first glance it seemed like kind of a dumb idea. maker's mark wanted to get more products out on the shelves. but when you really got into it, it was completely stupid. maker's an old-time bourbon company decided to make more of their products by adding extra water, which would mean less alcohol content among other things. >> lowering it to 45% alcohol to 42% alcohol is not the problem. >> reporter: says jason walker in san francisco. >> i think the flavor profile is the problem. so adding water to it, it's going to change the flavor. >> and they chose to water down the product, i think, in a well intention attempt to keep everybody happy. it was the wrong decision, obviously. >> reporter: marketing guru says it appears that maker's

didn't want to raise prices to keep it affordable for their customers. but for susie, instead they put their reputation on the rocks. >> i've never tried marker's and i'm not sure i would. >> it is very nice. >> reporter: maybe she would like it watered down a bit too. afterall some people put ice in it and it gets diluted anyway. but it was the decision and the way it was handled that angered people. >> hestly i think it's insulting to the customers. but at the same time, no one would have ever known. >> reporter: realizing their mistake, maker's mark apologized in a tweet and reversed their decision, which could turn the whole thing around. >> they really showed themselves to be the sort of company that consumers love, humbled, accessible, willing to admit a mistake. and you know this resonates with people. >> reporter: no matter which way, the whole escapade no doubt releases their mark ever.
